I have a Vulcan 900 custom 07 I had aftermarket air cleaner exhaust fuel processor and dynod it has way more power sounds way better and the feeling of it needing a 6th gear is gone don’t even feel that that bike runs best thing i done to it my friends have road kings softails keep with them all day no problem
Nice! I'm hoping to get a new one next year for my 50th birthday. I'm riding a 96 Magna with 33K miles on it currently. I've never bought a brand new vehicle.
I bought a 10 year old one with 12000 on the clock . Im knocking 70 so probably be my last bike . Never had a criuser so thought it would round off my biking career . Good reliable engines and drive train.
I have a 900 custom and imo, its great bike overall. Its fairly light, easy to operate, dependable, smooth and comfortable to ride and gets great fuel mileage. If you like cruisers, its easy to look and reasonably priced. Imo, its geared too low for long trips on the interstate. Anything below indicated 70mph is fine. After that, it starts screaming and starts vibrating. If you ride double, you might look at something larger unless short trips.
👍You are right and I wish I had known about the gearing long before buying the Vulcano. It is indeed a 🔑 boulevard-cruiser best suited for city streets and short highway runs. Thanks for sharing your personal experience on this topic 🤘💪 Safe Riding Mike!
@@MaxiScooterGuy Well, I should have added that if 2 lane roads ( best choice, imo) are taken, I think the Vulcan 900 is the best bike for the buck. Mine has been from Colorado springs to Glacier N.Park 2 lane roads when possible, and the bike did absolutely Great.
Here it is 2023 and I'm getting my first bike in 20 years. I used to own Interceptor 700, 750, 100, CB750, Sportster 1000 AMF, Yamaha, and so on, BUT now that I'm in my mid 50's (Damn, really ?? WTF happened ?) I think a bagger type cruiser is the logical move and I've had my eye on the Vulcan for a LONG time because it's perfect in so many ways.
Thorough explanation of facts and what you were thinking when you made this purchase. You can add to your list my 07 Vulcan Classic LT with 77,000 miles and 3 offroad mishaps (WRECKS! HAHA) and the bike just keeps going. Revs may appear high at 75+mph but the engine was designed to rev high like that. You will hit aerodynamic drag limitations at 115mph WAY WAY before you hit redline in 5th gear. That being said, i find myself wishing for more power and gears a lot of the time.
Honestly, it is a great machine for the $. It's affordable. I'm with you on gearing and I find that there could be a little more power. What will the next bike be?
@@MaxiScooterGuy good question. the VN900 would be the perfect bike for me if it had 1 more gear (6-speed) and about a 25% increase in torque and HP numbers. It is the perfect bike for me I guess.
@@MaxiScooterGuy No I haven't named it.. I Never thought of it.. I think I will call it Custom... I also have a Honda St 1300, a YZ 250x, and a Yfz450r.. Racing the ATV is Always Fun.. Woods racing..Awrcs Series..
Thanks for the comment and for the question, I love these questions 👍 I will add that at the top of my videos-to-do-list. I will get around to making that video, but you got to give me some time, deal? Here's a question for you: beside the Vulcan 900, what other bikes are you interested in🤔 Cheers
I mostly love my Vulcan 900C. The only thing I don't like is when my city decides to tear up and repave a perfectly good road and I just roll up on that road unaware. The narrow front tire makes for an ass-clenching ride. The bike feels like it's trying to throw you off. On decent roads it makes for a great ride.
Am I the only one that think it's insane there are hundreds of youtube reviews for every other bike like garbage hd air cooled bikes and almost no vulcan reviews that is an amazingly buttery smooth ride... Hopefully kawasaki adds abs and usb ports some day that's it after that change nothing.
I'd have to agree with you Ben 🤜🤛 but the only fair comparison is between Vulcan and Sporty. One day I will own a Harley and test out the reliability personally. Cheers and happy riding brotha!🤘
Actually, if I am not mistaken... the widest factory rear wheel for a mid size cruiser would be The Yamaha Stryker 11'-17'. The stock rear wheel on the Stryker is 210/40/18 and the stock rim can fit a 240/40/18 without mods. Some people even go 250 on it!! I own a 2015 Stryker Bullet cowl and before buying it I was looking at the 2019 Vulcan 900 Custom. But the Stryker as been on my top 3 bikes since 2011, the other two being Harley's and out of my price budget. So drove down to Nova Scotia to buy my dream 15' Stryker Camo Green... I think my only complaint it the clunky gear box, but its a Yamaha! The rest is reliable as hell. My bullet cowl was the only one in green for sale used in Canada at the time I purchased it. And my biggest complaint on the Vulcan is the rear wheel. I hate the fact that Kawasaki went with a 15" and installed an ugly & cheap looking rear rim... It looks like an old full steel car wheel. For the extra few bucks they could have gotten a nicer 18" and give this bike the killer look it deserves. Check out mean cycles, they have an upgraded kit for the Vulcan with a 18" @ 240 rear wheel... it just opens up that rear end and looks badass!! That OEM rear wheel was one of my big turn off points.... and its a shame because the rest of the bike looks fantastic!! Good video! www.meancycles.com/store/parts/view.cfm?partID=214057
I replaced my front oem pulley from 32 tooth to Barons after-market 34 tooth pulley. On a 2007 custom 900. Smoothed right out. You can google to see what others say about it.
At nearly 600lbs I would hardly call the Vulcan a light weight bike! I have an 07 custom with the Mustang seat and its too high and I'm 6'2" always hitting the seat with my foot when mounting.
Thanks for the comment, I agree, some might interpret elements on this motorcycle differently. Totally subjective to the individual experience. I made the comment about it being a lightweight motorcycle when compared to other cruisers within the Vulcan 900 line-up, namely the fully loaded classic and classic lt, the custom weighs in as the lightest of all three at 611 lbs. Getting on and off this bike has never posed any problem for me. I'm 1.83m tall, weigh 88kg with an leg inseam of .86m (6ft tall, 195 lbs and 34" inseam) and I'm a martial arts practitioner, with strong legs capable of clearing over the seat height with great ease. Everyone's experience is subjective. I stayed as neutral as possible without being bias in my explanation, or did you find me trying to "push" people toward purchasing this motorcycle? Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
I had the 09 Custom with the Mustang seat, nice isn't it. I did not have any problems with my seat. I am 68 years old and 6' tall. The 900 to me felt light and balanced well. I ride a Road King today and it feels heavy at over 800 lbs dry it should though. The 900 Custom was one of my favorite bikes.
question for the committee...how does the vulcan 900 compare to the vulcan S on the highway? I love the looks of both, but, I'm thinking the 900 may be the smoother bike to cruise all day long on. Anyone with enough miles on both to offer an opinion on that? also, MSG - can you say a few words about what you may be using for saddle bags? Looks like you got a very robust bag support in place. Very interested in that as well. thanks any & all....
You're most welcome. I hope you get out and test ride a few different motorcycles before you purchase this motorcycle. Do your research before settling on any particular make and model. Happy Shopping.
I was disappointed with the gearing and the dogged out commiefonia set up ( small pipes small air cleaner inlet tuned down fuel management) . I put on both front and rear pulley and a 200 rear tire . Now she's more than 10% over stock final drive ratio ( she shows 10mph under actual speed ). Bigger pipes bigger air cleaner and fuel management Now she flys and sounds good ! But she could use 1 more gear ! The only thing this bike won't satisfy is the need to have a harley ! This bike is 600 lbs some one said the equivalent harley is 900 lbs ? The seat is lower than the stock harley soft tail . Very smooth with the 200 rear tire you can put this bike anywhere in the lane even on farley rutted up road) that threw me all over with the stock tire) ! Love this bike ! If harley would've given me the same deal i would have got the harley The dealer put it on a credit card and let me ride away after new bike prep ! $ 10,000 signature loan how about that shit !!! They didnt even make me have full coverage insurance . I did get the minimum insurance on my own . 30,000 miles the only thing that has broken on this bike I broke . It also killed a deer that tried to kill me for killing and eating many of his brothers . Fixed her !! Shes still running strong ! Just went from commifornia to the Canadian boarder ( didn't cross I don't go where Americans ain't allowed ) with my son-inlaw and his dad on there new 1100 Indians . They were on the last leg of their boarder to boarder trip . Talk about a motorcycle suppository!!!
big thanks to you man you helped me a lot so i have a question for you so Im 6.3 foot i have long knees you shinkt thaht i'll fit good in this costume witche are bigger the classic or the custume thanks a lot bro keep up
26k miles on mine Doesn't like 75+ in 100°f weather which is understandable. Best unbaffled. Valves are ticky but eh. Seats not too good on long rides but gets it one. crankcase blow-by vent in air filter housing 5'6" and rides fine and nimble
Hey Kymco Ryder, Thanks for the comment. Good question, am I done with scooters? No, I still own my silver wing. Today is March 4 2018 and I be doing a video on it. Thanks for asking. How your bike running? Will you being posting any content ?
It's funny but I've been looking at clips of vn800/900s,and a few times I've said to people pointing with their finger,its rude to point,the pointing stick is much better,(it's my problem and I'm dealing with it)
My first bike was a Honda 500 for then I have a Kawasaki 900 Z1 had three of those they were excellent motorcycles I had a Suzuki 800 which was an excellent motorcycle, Had a Yamaha Road star full dresser it was an exceptionally wonderful motorcycle a little top-heavy so I put a lowering kit on it ran my 206 heritage Harley these were all good motorcycles and never had any problems with any of them, I was partial to my 2006 Harley heritage it was loaded at $32,000 and probably the nicest bike I have around the Royal star was about 30,000 as far as Turin goes it was the best stereo it was loaded with everything you could put on a motorcycle
MrCaptainCrazy I been here. I been sitting in the tall unmanicured grass watch yall do "ya thang"! March 15, the mandatory winter tire restriction will be lifted, you know it's on after that... I'm just warming up with this one.
MSG MotoVlogs Wow, I didn't know there was a tire restriction.... My brother lives up there, but he can't afford the Canadian car insurance so, he has a car that he doesn't drive.
Ontario insurance is astronomically high. I pay $630/ for my bike (plates $540 and 1way insurance $90-civil liability, $250 deduc). Quebec is the cheap province to insure anyway kind of vehicle.
I currently ride a Suzuki Intruder 800 and I really like it however, it is not' a freeway bike! I feel at 70 mph that engine is about to spin it's gut out! How is this one @ 70 +mph? Secondly I read that Kawasaki uses a 'hidden timing chain adjuster' How is it hidden? And how is it to service? I ask because on an Intruder it's a big deal to service. I'm currently looking at a 07Vulcan 900 Custom to purchase
I have a 2013 Vulcan 900 custom. I replaced the front and back pulley. Its smooth up to 75. Before the pulley upgrade, it would start to vibrate at 65 I believe. Mines is belt driven so not sure what you mean about the chain adjustment.
Mine has V and H pipes, a tuned dynomax FI computer, aftermarket ram intake, and runs on 91. I regularly get to 80 85 and it runs good. Only issue is my tall body catches wind, and it's a lighter bike so it can move with you
Looking to get my first bike, I love the look of this bike, and I think a 900cc would be a good size to start off with, found a 2009 that looks the same as this one
It's a great bike, that's my personal opinion and I tried to be all positive as you will notice in the video. Nothing negative to say about it as you would've notice at the same time. I bought the right bike so I don't want to change anything about it. It's a Japanese Cruiser with american styling. I suggest you get out and try a few different bikes, if after all that you do decide to buy the Kawa. You should be able to enjoy it for years to come. Positive Vibes, Cheers!
Most cruiser bikes with a radiater also use air cooling.......and on the 900 if you don't use good oil it will will run extremely hot......that goes for Kawasaki 1700 also......basically any bike, so just because you want good oil in your bike doesn't mean the shop is going to put it in.....do it yourself Based on title....an 883 is more versatile, in fact any Harley is more versatile than any other brand of the same type of bike.....anything you could possibly dream up, somebody else has also and it is made to fit a Harley......all other bikes are limited including the 900 Custom Memphise shades drop-top windshield is better than anything else you can put on, the dark shade looks better than anything else You clearly have never used ape hangers, when you have the bars so that your arms are straight out it is far more comfortable than reaching down I'd like to see a double rear disk brake The 180 rear is for looks only, according to the people that know....the wider tire is less curvy than a narrow tire....except I went from a 210 to 240 and handling got better Wider tire certainly does take away from power and 900cc doesn't need to lose any power I would do another 883 before another 900, and I'd rather have a Bolt
It’s all about preference. I’ve got a 900 and my wife has a 883 and when we go riding she always wants to switch bikes cause mine is more fun. I love em both honestly
Harley fanboy, we can tell. Harley suck. Big, heavy, gutless, and on life support, and no-one will miss them. Double rear disc brake? Do you even ride???
Thanks for the question. I can't tell you if this bike is the right fit for you, but, what I can suggest is for you to head down to a dealership and sit on the bike. Hope you find something that fits you!
Hey Nick thanks for the question. The windshield is a Custom World Adjustable Windshield, 15" (Tinted). It does a great job of taking the wind off and out of the chest area. I also catches a lot of the bugs. It's worth it's weight in gold.
I have an 09 custom bout it 1 year ago next month with it only having 900 miles, and the previous owner already chromed the wheels and added cobra pipe and had barons lowering link so I got pretty lucky and got it for a good price
I hear that!. I ,too, got pretty lucky when i scored my bike, differently, from you fortune. The previous owner equipped the bike with A. RoadKrome saddlebag kits (Bags and Mounting hardware) that costed 1,500$, B. 2 high quality riding jackets with armor, C. 2 helmets (Never used them). D. floorboards, E. an oem kawasaki Sissybar back rest and lower mounting bars, F. oem kawasaki luggage rack, G. a Faco top case, H. Chromeworld windshield, I. 2 bike covers, J. His wife's size small leather gloves, K. the bike was wired with optimate charging cable. L. Tank Bag That was his last bike. He was giving up the lifestyle. I think he was 78y/o. We all get lucky from time to time I suppose, wouldn't your agree? Where are you from ?
I have nothing but praise and love for my Vulcan 900 classic 👍👍👍👍 PLUS, it is good to handle for shorter dudes like me.
The Vulcano 9000, is a pretty sweet ride and aftermarket parts are plenty 2 👍👍⬆︎

I own a 2014 900 custom and the only improvement it needs is (1) cruise control & (2) a sixth gear .
The VN900 is definitely a boulevard cruiser. At this price point we can only wish for more. What will your next bike be?

Crazy good quality! The Vulcan Custom was one of my top picks for motorcycles to buy. GORGEOUS BIKE
EFI.....would have been nice to mention. No carb failing or cleaning required.
Thats why I bought mine. Over a Yamaha or other competition. I don't ride it all the time and I don't care to do all the carb cleaning

most informative comment so far. Thanks David.
I think you sold me my next bike :P
So are you done with scooters? Did you get rid of the Silver wing?
Hey Kymco Ryder, Thanks for the comment. Good question, am I done with scooters? No, I still own my silver wing. Today is March 4 2018 and I be doing a video on it. Thanks for asking.
How your bike running? Will you being posting any content ?
The stock seat sucks get a mustang touring seat best $500 iv'e ever spent.
It's funny but I've been looking at clips of vn800/900s,and a few times I've said to people pointing with their finger,its rude to point,the pointing stick is much better,(it's my problem and I'm dealing with it)
It's not a pointer stick it's a magnet LOL
My first bike was a Honda 500 for then I have a Kawasaki 900 Z1 had three of those they were excellent motorcycles I had a Suzuki 800 which was an excellent motorcycle, Had a Yamaha Road star full dresser it was an exceptionally wonderful motorcycle a little top-heavy so I put a lowering kit on it ran my 206 heritage Harley these were all good motorcycles and never had any problems with any of them, I was partial to my 2006 Harley heritage it was loaded at $32,000 and probably the nicest bike I have around the Royal star was about 30,000 as far as Turin goes it was the best stereo it was loaded with everything you could put on a motorcycle
Stuck in traffic lol my man it’s a motorcycle NEVER I JUST GOT THIS BIKE 2 days ago but it’s been raining so 😒😒😒😒 i gota wait ...
Thanks for the comment. I hear you!
Is MSG Back? I know it's cold up there... I joined "team green" too.
MrCaptainCrazy I been here. I been sitting in the tall unmanicured grass watch yall do "ya thang"! March 15, the mandatory winter tire restriction will be lifted, you know it's on after that... I'm just warming up with this one.
MSG MotoVlogs Wow, I didn't know there was a tire restriction.... My brother lives up there, but he can't afford the Canadian car insurance so, he has a car that he doesn't drive.
Ontario insurance is astronomically high. I pay $630/ for my bike (plates $540 and 1way insurance $90-civil liability, $250 deduc). Quebec is the cheap province to insure anyway kind of vehicle.
I currently ride a Suzuki Intruder 800 and I really like it however, it is not' a freeway bike! I feel at 70 mph that engine is about to spin it's gut out! How is this one @ 70 +mph? Secondly I read that Kawasaki uses a 'hidden timing chain adjuster' How is it hidden? And how is it to service? I ask because on an Intruder it's a big deal to service. I'm currently looking at a 07Vulcan 900 Custom to purchase
I have a 2013 Vulcan 900 custom. I replaced the front and back pulley. Its smooth up to 75. Before the pulley upgrade, it would start to vibrate at 65 I believe. Mines is belt driven so not sure what you mean about the chain adjustment.
Mine has V and H pipes, a tuned dynomax FI computer, aftermarket ram intake, and runs on 91. I regularly get to 80 85 and it runs good. Only issue is my tall body catches wind, and it's a lighter bike so it can move with you
What year is this bike?
Hey Joe, thanks for the question. This bike happens to be a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom. What do you ride ?
Looking to get my first bike, I love the look of this bike, and I think a 900cc would be a good size to start off with, found a 2009 that looks the same as this one
It's a great bike, that's my personal opinion and I tried to be all positive as you will notice in the video. Nothing negative to say about it as you would've notice at the same time. I bought the right bike so I don't want to change anything about it. It's a Japanese Cruiser with american styling. I suggest you get out and try a few different bikes, if after all that you do decide to buy the Kawa. You should be able to enjoy it for years to come.
Positive Vibes, Cheers!

Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom 👍
🏍
You forgot progamable fuel injected !!
the custom drag bars are to wide !
Most cruiser bikes with a radiater also use air cooling.......and on the 900 if you don't use good oil it will will run extremely hot......that goes for Kawasaki 1700 also......basically any bike, so just because you want good oil in your bike doesn't mean the shop is going to put it in.....do it yourself
Based on title....an 883 is more versatile, in fact any Harley is more versatile than any other brand of the same type of bike.....anything you could possibly dream up, somebody else has also and it is made to fit a Harley......all other bikes are limited including the 900 Custom
Memphise shades drop-top windshield is better than anything else you can put on, the dark shade looks better than anything else
You clearly have never used ape hangers, when you have the bars so that your arms are straight out it is far more comfortable than reaching down
I'd like to see a double rear disk brake
The 180 rear is for looks only, according to the people that know....the wider tire is less curvy than a narrow tire....except I went from a 210 to 240 and handling got better
Wider tire certainly does take away from power and 900cc doesn't need to lose any power
I would do another 883 before another 900, and I'd rather have a Bolt
😂 Harley...you mean that company about to go bankrupt?
Harley??? Are you sure.. I sold my 48 for vulcan900...My vulcan rides better for me..
It’s all about preference. I’ve got a 900 and my wife has a 883 and when we go riding she always wants to switch bikes cause mine is more fun. I love em both honestly
Harley fanboy, we can tell. Harley suck. Big, heavy, gutless, and on life support, and no-one will miss them.
Double rear disc brake? Do you even ride???
you did a good job. ok
Thanks, I seriously appreciate any sort of feedback. How are you enjoying your vulcan?
MSG MotoVlogs I have a 800 Vulcan classic and it is a great bike except the draggy side stand.
Have you tried swapping the old spring for a new one?
I am 6-'4" is it to small for me?
Thanks for the question. I can't tell you if this bike is the right fit for you, but, what I can suggest is for you to head down to a dealership and sit on the bike. Hope you find something that fits you!
2:46 on repeat
What windscreen do you have on the vulcan?
Hey Nick thanks for the question. The windshield is a Custom World Adjustable Windshield, 15" (Tinted). It does a great job of taking the wind off and out of the chest area. I also catches a lot of the bugs. It's worth it's weight in gold.
MSG MotoVlogs thanks for the info
Are you the owner of a Vulcan? What model is it?
I have an 09 custom bout it 1 year ago next month with it only having 900 miles, and the previous owner already chromed the wheels and added cobra pipe and had barons lowering link so I got pretty lucky and got it for a good price
I hear that!. I ,too, got pretty lucky when i scored my bike, differently, from you fortune. The previous owner equipped the bike with
A. RoadKrome saddlebag kits (Bags and Mounting hardware) that costed 1,500$,
B. 2 high quality riding jackets with armor,
C. 2 helmets (Never used them).
D. floorboards,
E. an oem kawasaki Sissybar back rest and lower mounting bars,
F. oem kawasaki luggage rack,
G. a Faco top case,
H. Chromeworld windshield,
I. 2 bike covers,
J. His wife's size small leather gloves,
K. the bike was wired with optimate charging cable.
L. Tank Bag
That was his last bike. He was giving up the lifestyle. I think he was 78y/o.
We all get lucky from time to time I suppose, wouldn't your agree? Where are you from ?
